Loss to Bucks

[kevin from singapore <bostonceltics17@yahoo.com>]

I followed the game on weei 3rd qtr onwards. I was really disappointed, not becos
we lost, but by the way we lost it.

We are settling for jumpers and mostly 3 point shots. Bucks always come at you to
the basket, drawing fouls, getting the rebounds. 

OB (and Howard David) were gloating about how they kept Big Dog, Ray Allen in
check, but so what??!! We lost the game! I don't agree with OB in the press
conference "giving excuses" that the Bucks were a good team, so it was no shame
losing to a better team. I am real disappoointed in the way we lost the game.

OB's 3 point policy is starting to bug me (even tho Walker's hitting them tonite).
Also our "pack-it-in" defense  has gone down the drain. I always hear opponents
making their jumpshots, the bucks make it seemed so automatic.

Even if we qualify for the playoffs, we'll get spank. Playoffs are always half
court games, outside shooting just don't win any 5 or 7 game series.

OB's not adjusting his game plan. Seem like everygame, we'll just bomb away. I
don't like it. Even Bucks is known as a good 3 point shooting team, they didn't
use it till late in the game (lindsy hunter).

I think this is the main reason we don't see Blount and V getting those offensive
rebounds, as missed 3 pointers results in long rebounds. Our big men are parked in
the paint, under the hoop.

I remembered the Blazer win where we really played like it should be played. How
come we have detoured from such play? I think OB got to wake up. If we continue to
play like this, we're done for the season. I think even those "can win" games
(like next up Wizards) will be a struggle.

Management is right about talking OB's extention only AFTER the season.
